HEATING-DRUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 348,852, dated September 7, 1886.

Application filed March D, 1886.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VILLIAM C. LINDSEY, acitizen of the United Statesof America, residing at New London, in the county of Halls. and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Drums, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in heating-drums forrstoves, having forits object economy of fuel, to augment the heating ca pacity of the stove, and to provide for the heating of a separate apartment or room, and the invention consists of the combinations of parts, including their construction, substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is asectional elevation ot' my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the section being taken at right angles to the plane of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof with the top plate removed.

In the organization of my invention I employ a drum or casing, preferably made ot' sheet metal, and of any suitable contour in cross-section. This drum or casingAis provided with a vertical partition, B, dividing the same about centrally and vertically into two compartments or chambers, O O', the righthand one of which, C, is provided with the smoke outlet or exit a, while arranged to extend transversely through said latter chamber is a smoke passage or pipe, b, opening through the casing A and the partition B. The outer or easing end of the pipe or passage b, in practice, connects with the smoke-pipe leading from the stove, while the inner end of said passage or pipe opens into the left-hand chamber, C, conducting the smoke and heat thereinto. The lower end of the partition B stands or is elevated above the bottom of the drum or casing A, leaving a space between the same, which is divided into passages or openings d d Serial No. 194,590. (No model.)

one way by arranging centrally of said space a plate, d, with its lower iianged end fastened to the bottom of the drum and its up per end resting against the partition near its lower end. The passages or openings d being thus arranged at the bottom and sides of the drum or casing and opening up eolnmunication between the two chambers C C', the smoke and heat entering the chamber C will be caused to pass downward and spread through the chamber @,and thence pass into the chamber O and spread through it, escaping through the outlet or exit a ofthe latter chamber, whereby the heat will be detained and utilized to its fullest extent to enable the thorough heating of thedrnm.

With the drum connected to a stove it is obvious that a greatly-increased amount of heat will be given out into the room or apartment, while by asutable length of pipe-con nection the drum can be disposed or arranged in a separate or ad joining room or apartment, and thus wholly serve as or take the place of a stove therein, resulting in economy of fuel and reducing the number of stoves as such for heating a building.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a heating or stove drum, the combination of the casing or drum, the elevated vertical partition, the inlet-pipe opening through VILLIA M C. LIN DSEY.
